The Detroit Tigers released Brandon Inge on Thursday, but it doesn’t appear as if the veteran infielder will remain on the market for long.

Several teams are reported to have interest in Inge.

The Minnesota Twins could use another infielder after recently cutting ties with Luke Hughes, who was claimed by the Oakland A’s. The Minneapolis Star Tribune speculates the Twins could use Inge in a third-base platoon with Sean Burroughs and send third baseman Danny Valencia to Class AAA for more seasoning.

According to MASNSports.com, the Baltimore Orioles are looking to upgrade their infield defense and might consider Inge. He likely wouldn’t be a huge asset offensively, however, after batting just .197 last season.

After recently demoting third baseman Josh Donaldson to Class AAA, the A’s might have interest in Inge, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Thus far, Hughes has been a defensive liability at the position.

During spring training, the Philadelphia Phillies were linked to Inge, though it is unclear whether they still have interest in him.

Finally, the Arizona Diamondbacks’ website commented that it wouldn’t be surprising if the team took a look at Inge.

Inge, 34, hit .100 (2-for-20) with a homer and two RBIs in nine games with the Tigers this season.
